<title>Contribution</title>

<h1>Contribution</h1>

The OpenPKG project encourages everybody to contribute hints, patches or even
complete packages. For this the following facilities are available to
contributors:

<h2>Anonymous Web Service</h2>

This service provides access to the OpenPKG site through
the HTTP protocol. It can be accessed by anyone with a Web
browser (like <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/">Mozilla</a>
or <a href="http://w3m.sf.net/">W3M</a>) under the address <a
href="http://www.openpkg.org/">http://www.openpkg.org/</a>. Use this
service for reading all OpenPKG non-source-code material, including
especially security advisories and more.

<pre>
$ mozilla http://www.openpkg.org/
</pre>

<h2>Anonymous FTP Service</h2>

This service provides access to the OpenPKG distribution files
through the FTP protocol. It can be accessed by anyone with
an FTP client (like <a href="http://lftp.yar.ru/">lftp</a>
or any vendor <tt>ftp</tt> command) under the address <a
href="ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/">ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/</a>.
There is also a contribution area <a
href="ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/contrib">ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/contrib/</a>.
where you can upload files. Use this service for downloading all the RPM
distribution files and for uploading your contributions.

<pre>
$ lftp ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/
</pre>

<h2>Anonymous RSYNC Service</h2>

This service provides access to the OpenPKG distribution files
(module <tt>openpkg-ftp</tt>), the OpenPKG website (module
<tt>openpkg-web</tt>) and the OpenPKG CVS repository (module
<tt>openpkg-cvs</tt>) through the RSYNC protocol. It can be accessed
by anyone with the <a href="http://www.cvshome.org/">rsync</a>
client program under the address <a
href="rsync://rsync.openpkg.org/">rsync://rsync.openpkg.org/</a>. Use
this service for maintaining local mirrors of the OpenPKG Web and FTP
service or of the OpenPKG CVS repository.

<pre>
$ rsync -rav --delete rsync://rsync.openpkg.org/<i>module</i>/ /path/to/local/copy/
</pre>

<h2>Anonymous CVS Checkout Service</h2>

This service provides access to the OpenPKG CVS repository through the CVS
"pserver" protocol. It can be accessed by anyone with the <a
href="http://www.cvshome.org/">cvs</a> client program under the address
:pserver:anonymous@@cvs.openpkg.org:/v/openpkg/cvs/. The login password is
empty (just hit return when <tt>cvs</tt> asks for it). The available
<i>modules</i> are <tt>openpkg-adm</tt>, <tt>openpkg-doc</tt>,
<tt>openpkg-play</tt>, <tt>openpkg-re</tt>, <tt>openpkg-src</tt>,
<tt>openpkg-ui</tt>, <tt>openpkg-web</tt>, <tt>rpm-doc</tt>, and
<tt>rpm-src</tt>. Use this service for checking out many files from
the OpenPKG CVS repository at once, especially if you want to make and
maintain local modifications.

<pre>
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@@cvs.openpkg.org:/v/openpkg/cvs login
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@@cvs.openpkg.org:/v/openpkg/cvs co <i>module</i>
</pre>

<h2>Anonymous CVS Browsing Service</h2>

This service provides access to the OpenPKG CVS repository through the <a
href="http://www.cvstraq.org/">CVStraq</a> based Web service. It can be
accessed by anyone with a Web browser (like <a
href="http://www.mozilla.org/">Mozilla</a> or <a
href="http://w3m.sf.net/">W3M</a>) under the address <a
href="http://cvs.openpkg.org/">http://cvs.openpkg.org/</a>. Use this
service for convenient interactive browsing the OpenPKG CVS repository,
for monitoring the OpenPKG CVS repository evolution in a chronological
way, and for hyperlinking to sources and source changes in the CVS
repository.

<pre>
$ w3m http://cvs.openpkg.org/
</pre>

<h2>Subscription-based Mailing List Service</h2>

This service provides access to the OpenPKG forums through the Mail service.
It can be used by anyone with a valid Mail account by subscribing to one or
more mailing lists <tt>openpkg-</tt><i>name</i><tt>@@openpkg.org</tt> through
the Petidomo service under <tt>petidomo@@openpkg.org</tt>.  See the <a
href="support.html">Support</a> page for more details, too.

<pre>
$ echo "subscribe openpkg-announce" | mail petidomo@@openpkg.org
$ echo "subscribe openpkg-users" | mail petidomo@@openpkg.org
$ echo "subscribe openpkg-dev" | mail petidomo@@openpkg.org
$ echo "subscribe openpkg-cvs" | mail petidomo@@openpkg.org
</pre>


<h2>Contributor Environment</h2>

You've lots of options on how to work as an OpenPKG
contributor. The most canonical and convenient way to
establish your contributor environment is by using the <a
href="http://cvs.openpkg.org/openpkg-re/openpkg-dev">openpkg-dev</a>
script the OpenPKG developers are using by following the <a
href="http://cvs.openpkg.org/openpkg-re/pmod-psod.txt">instructions</a>
for PMOD/PSOD.
